HARAYA.

SORRY IF I DID NOT JUDGE DESPITE THE INVITE COZ I KNOW, I WILL BE PARTIAL TO MISS EARTH AND FILIPINA QUEENS.

Um, EVERYBODY is partial to someone, so that’s not a legitimate reason for backing out. How do you think the very dry and lackluster Kiki with the cheap wardrobe made it to the list? By objective voting???

It was too bad, though, that her low IQ prevented her from realizing that she had no chance for a crown at the Cooking Show, unless she was the master chef’s personal choice to begin with. The Philippines’ entire participation at the cookfest reeks of full-on stupidity on the part of Filipinos.

Who would have thought that the “best pageant fans in the world” could also be the “most stupid pageant fans in the world”?

“Oh, Master Julia! You cheated us, but yes, we’ll keep joining your pageant, hoping you’ll magically have a conscience and will be fair to us this time.” What a bunch of idiots.

In fairness to Filipinos, Venezuelans were the first in being stupid. Venezuela has been IGNORED by the master chef since Ivian Sarcos' 2011 win, but still keeps sending candidates. But of course Venezuela doesn't feel that hurt because they didn't experience cooking as bad as what the master chef did to Catriona Gray.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO SEE THE SCORES OF EACH JUDGE. IT IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIMELESS BEAUTY THAT A MISS EARTH DELEGATE IS DESERVINGLY LEADING AND A FILIPINO WHINER SHOWED UP AND SINGLED OUT MISS EARTH.

BEAUY WISE, PORTUGAL IS VERY DESERVING TO WIN BUT SHE WILL NOT WIN OF COURSE. BUT IF SHE IS A CONTESTANT OF OTHER PAGEANTS, WILL THEY COMPLAIN?

I think it is fair to say that Portugal topping the rankings is less related to her competing at a Filipino pageant than the sheer beauty that we all clearly saw.

I can't remember exactly my top rankings but it was an honour to judge and I think my own rankings in the poll differ from my favourites clearly. My only notable miss is Venezuela Universe but I could see she almost cracked the list.

If there were no rules I would put Catriona Gray as Timeless Beauty of 2018 and leave the rest. I don’t really care about such rules. For me Catriona topped everyone else that year. Those girls could win that title but none of them impressed me like catriona.

So a nobody from the Philippine-based Miss Earth ranked first and an average face from the Philippines ranked third.

Oh wait. I think I just solved the mystery!

My perception of beauty may largely differ from yours. We can agree to disagree. I take no offense. On the bases of the set criteria and the weighted scores accordingly, I stand with what I believed was the right thing to do. I don't think I need the approval or validation neither do I owe any one else any explanation or apology. Go share your perception or thoughts with those who care to listen. It will make your presence in the fora less stressful.
